Institution:

Denison University

Subject:

Description:

This course is a comparative study of how animals perform their lifesustaining functions. We'll use a wide variety of animal examples to explore the physiology of metabolism, thermoregulation, muscles, and the cardiovascular, respiratory, and osmoregulatory systems. This course will examine the adaptive significance of physiological traits at the molecular, tissue, organ and whole organism level. In addition, it will stress the ways that physiology and ecology interact, currently and over evolutionary time. Students will participate in several course labs and then design their own physiology experiments. Prerequisite: Biology core or consent.(4 credits)
